The September 27, 2026 (Sunday) morning edition of the Chunichi Shimbun (Gifu edition) featured our CEO Kaito Okumura and our school digital signage platform "KimiTeras (キミテラス)" in its series "いつか千里を ぎふの子馬たち" (Itsuka Senri wo: Gifu no Koumatachi), which profiles young challengers from Gifu.

Coverage Overview

  • Newspaper: Chunichi Shimbun, morning edition, Gifu edition, page 10 (September 27, 2026)
  • Series: いつか千里を ぎふの子馬たち
  • Headline: 「企業情報 スッと目に」
  • Subheadline: 「工業高生の就活 ITで支援」 (IT support for technical high school students' job hunting)

What the Article Covers

Alongside a photo taken in a classroom at Ginan Technical High School, the article covers:

  • How KimiTeras works: A single classroom monitor shows class notices — schedules, assignments and announcements — side by side with information from local companies. Teachers can update it anytime from a PC or smartphone
  • Cost to schools: Funded by corporate advertising, so devices are installed free of charge. Schools only cover electricity and internet
  • Where it runs: Classrooms of all three grades in the Electronics department at Ginan Technical High School, and in front of the career guidance office at Gifu Technical High School
  • Our journey so far: Starting from the top prize at the 2nd DigiTech Quest in August 2025, we began product development in January 2026, started operation at Ginan Technical High School in April, exhibited at a company information fair for students in May, and installed at Gifu Technical High School in June
  • What's next: Our goal of bringing KimiTeras to every technical high school in Gifu Prefecture, and then nationwide

Thank You

We sincerely thank the teachers at Ginan Technical High School for their cooperation, and reporter Goto of the Chunichi Shimbun, who interviewed us and wrote the article.

We will continue building places inside the classroom where students and local companies can naturally meet.
